Yes. It's in Montreal. was put up to dress up the scenery, it's Designer/architect has won prizes for it's design, each"Unit" was pre assembled (Concrete) and was laid in a specific pattern such that each Unit is part of the structural intigrity. After 42 years it's as solid as ever, yes some concrete had to be patched, but on a minor scale only.... made , built, design in Quebec.

Good thing it's not in San Francisco.

HIggs Said :

The original intent was that it would be self-contained city, complete with stores, entertainment, employment opportunities and the like. It was designed by Safdie as part of his Bachelor's thesis when he was an architecture student at McGill. It was supposed to be this kind of socialist eden (it was the 60's after all...). Alas, only about 10% of it was ever built, and they are now very very high priced condos. The inside is very deceiving - warm and cozy and not blocky at all (I had a piano student who lived there). There is a similar project also by Safdie in Tel Aviv (I think - somewhere in Israel at any rate).
